Hi!! It is now 2010!!! New year, new beginning.. I am taking my O's level this year!! Yeah.. I have cleared N level!! I was really satisfied with my results last year, can't believe i am someone who is able to pass so well.. This year, i realized that i got to really work harder, cause i felt the huge jump between N and O level after 2 weeks of school.. And what the teachers said is true, in O level if you are not prepared than you can get ready to fail because you can never depend on luck or miracle !! More than all these, i also learned a lot from church and think through a lot of things in 2010 that i really wanna shared!!

If you are a student and you are thinking how can you barely pass your exams, or a person and you are thinking how can you earn enough just for yourself or family.. You gotta really change your thinking!!! You must know how to enlarge your capacity, character and thoughts. How?? By having a vision and dream, knowing what you want to accomplish in your life and be focus and keep holding on to that vision and never give up till it come to past.. You also gotta commit yourself to that vision, thinking and imagine it day and night..One of a greatest scientist in the world, Albert Einstein said "Imagination is more important than knowledge" Maybe it is a small vision from the start, but if you keep thinking and imagining it, it will grow into a big one!! You have to also start working on it, because vision without actions is dead.. Once you have the right vision, you will begin to live everyday with excitement and you will never live a careless life..

If you are a leader, or you have the desire to lead people.. Having a vision and dream is very important because you are no longer doing things to impact yourself, but you are also doing things to impact others.. And everyone is looking up to you! Andy Stanley said "When leaders are no longer willing to dream, it is only a short time followers are unwilling to follow" People don't achieve their dreams because they want to change their results but does not want to change their thinking!! John C Maxwell made a statement that really level up my maturity.. He said "Unsuccessful people focus their thinking on survival, average people focus their thinking on maintenance, successful people focus their thinking on progress." We need to be someone who focus our thinking on progress!!

One of the things i learned this year from Ms Khai was the importance of being positive.. A lot of people have the wrong idea that when someone tell them to think positively, they think that all those people are just trying to encourage them, and it can only make them feel better, but can never change their circumstances.. But it is not just encouragement.. If you want your situation or circumstances to change the only solution is to be positive because your thinking determines what kind of person you are.. Every parts of a human being is control by the mind!! That is why people always say it is mind over body!! As a man thinks, so he is When your mind is negative, no matter what you do, the results will always be negative.. If you think what you are going through is bad enough, think of people that is worse than what you are going through, you will realize there is still something you can thank GOD for!!

Are you a taker or a giver?? Are you the kind of person who hope people will treat you generously, but you do not want to show generosity to others?? Or you only want to be a taker, but never thought of being a giver.. Although there are a lot of downs that happened to me in 2009, but if you were to ask me is 2009 still a great year for me.. I will still say YES!! Cause i gotta know a giver teacher..:) I met a lot of ordinary teachers that treat students something and they kept talking about the same treat for a very long time.. Some teachers like to say, i will treat you if i live in a bungalow or drive a really big car.. Some even said "i am a poor person!!" But must they really live in a bungalow or drive a big car before they can afford to treat students?? Most teachers think that there must always be a limit when it comes to caring and loving students.. This is the reason why they can never have a breakthrough in their teaching career!! Limited love from a teacher results in limited love from the students.. Overflowing love from teacher results in overflowing love from the students!! The measure you give will be the measure you receive!! In 2009, i met a extraordinary one who is not only a teacher, she is also a counselor, who always encourages and comfort us whenever we are down, a provider, who provides for our needs, an example, who all of us look up to.. She is like our adopted mother, who treats her students like her own sons and daughters, never fails to impact us in various areas.. She taught me how to see life and situations from a different dimension! And because of her overflowing love to us resulted in our explosiveness love towards her!! She also taught and showed me that it is always more blessed to give than to receive!! Yes, she is Ms Khai!! :)
